Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add shrimp, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through. Remove shrimp from skillet and set aside.
  3. Add minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted.
  5. Add spinach and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook until spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes.
  6. Return shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, you can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream, but the sauce may not be as thick.
  • If you don’t have sun-dried tomatoes, you can use roasted red peppers, chopped.
  • Serve with crusty bread for dipping, or over pasta or rice.
